  • The Development of Libyan- Tunisian Bilateral Relations: a Critical Study on the Role of Ideology
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIBYAN- TUNISIAN BILATERAL RELATIONS: A CRITICAL STUDY ON THE ROLE OF IDEOLOGY Submitted by Almabruk Khalifa Kirfaa to the University of Exeter As a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Politics In December 2014 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: Almabruk Kirfaa………………………………………………………….. i Abstract Libyan-Tunisian bilateral relations take place in a context shaped by particular historical factors in the Maghreb over the past two centuries. Various elements and factors continue to define the limitations and opportunities present for regimes and governments to pursue hostile or negative policies concerning their immediate neighbours. The period between 1969 and 2010 provides a rich area for the exploration of inter-state relations between Libya and Tunisia during the 20th century and in the first decade of the 21st century. Ideologies such as Arabism, socialism, Third Worldism, liberalism and nationalism, dominated the Cold War era, which saw two opposing camps: the capitalist West versus the communist East. Arab states were caught in the middle, and many identified with one side over the other. generating ideological rivalries in the Middle East and North Africa. The anti-imperialist sentiments dominating Arab regimes and their citizens led many statesmen and politicians to wage ideological struggles against their former colonial masters and even neighbouring states.

  • The Basic Constituents of Tourism in Libya
    International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2017 755 ISSN 2250-3153 The basic constituents of tourism in Libya Walid Said PhD Candidate Abstract: Man has, from ancient times, exercised tourism by means of quasi continuous movement in search for better living abodes whereas movement is considered one of the human characteristics. Since its early life, man got used to movement from one place to the other to seek after, in the first place, livelihood, and then try hard to realize the mental and intellectual delight. But regarding the reference to the word tourism, this term expresses a term used in the Latin languages. In the linguistic concept of the term tourism, we find that it means wandering and the term touring the land means he went and moved along the surface of the earth.1 Key words: tourism, life, livelihood, earth I. INTRODUCTION Libya is distinguished by its strategic site of the tourism state as of the site, space, disparity of climate and reliefs as well as the number of inhabitants.2 Libya is an excellent and important site within the Mediterranean basin group which is considered one of the more attractive countries of the world for the world tourism and for its closeness to the European continent which absorbs about 65% of the volume of the international tourism flow, in addition to its distinguished site in North Africa, in the center of the Eastern and Western Arabic countries. It is considered like the gate of Africa, where prevails the Mediterranean Sea climate, a moderate climate, particularly the regions located in the northern sides of the country.

  • Marketing Libya As a Tourist Destination: Strategies for Development
    MARKETING LIBYA AS A TOURIST DESTINATION: STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPMENT Atiya Abuharris and Les Ruddock Research Institute for the Built and Human Environment, University of Salford Manchester, M7 9NU UK E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Although Libya is not a tourism-dependent country, this activity could become one of the most important sectors for the Libyan economy and its importance for the country's development is increasing year by year. The national economy, which for so many years has been bolstered by the oil factor, could clearly benefit from this growth in tourism. Tourism as a recognized industry in the world is relatively recent, and in Libya is a young country. Libya has the potential to become one of the most attractive places for tourists in North Africa. However, in order for Libya to fully exploit this tourism potential, there are several important issues to consider. The paper will be concerned with important issues regarding the development of the sector. It analyses the opportunities and challenges with which Libya’s international tourism is confronted as well as suggests the choices of policies and strategies Libya should undertake for its tourism development in the shadow of the country’s new orientations to reduce its economic dependency on oil revenue. Keywords : Tourism, Libya, challenges, opportunities, planning, development. INTRODUCTION Tourism is one of the largest industries in the world and, in several countries tourism has replaced oil at the top of the list in terms of foreign currency movements. In fact international tourism is an important part of trade in services, whose development has attracted the attention of the world community.

  • The Representation of the Iraq War in Selected Anglo-American and Iraqi Novels
    The Representation of the Iraq War in Selected Anglo-American and Iraqi Novels Pshtiwan Faraj Mohammed A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Arts and Humanities Brunel University London November 2015 Abstract This thesis explores representation of the Iraq War in selected Anglo-American and Iraqi novels, examining how several authors have employed this theme in their narratives. The featured novelists are chosen from many writers who focus their efforts and their writing on this conflict. Criterion for selection included offering a critique of the diverse perspectives from which the conflict was perceived, the texts‘ engagement with the political conundrums underpinning war and its approach, how such fiction engages with a contemporary audience and what perspective are deployed to do so. Their public visibility provides the basis of one interpretative strand of the thesis. This study also explores and conceptualises how this conflict has entered the cultural consciousness and to what degree the novels fictionalise the conflict as their main subject, and assesses through which thematic emphases. The texts chosen and to be analysed are pivotal to our understanding of contemporary Iraq and its recent history. It will be argued that the thematic content of these texts contextualise modern war‘s multiple effects within not only the fictional textual world, but as well as their imaginative characters these representations become part of the experience at least vicariously of the audiences who read them. The texts discussed in subsequent chapters are either originally written in, or translated into English (for publication), and therefore all available in English, one major criterion of textual selection.

  • National Integrated Monitoring and Assessment Programme (Imap) for Coast and Hydrography Indicators for Libya
    NATIONAL INTEGRATED MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT PROGRAMME (IMAP) FOR COAST AND HYDROGRAPHY INDICATORS FOR LIBYA Introduction: The coastline of Libya extends over 1,970 km and is characterized by its relative homogeneity since there is no marked differentiation of its topography and geomorphology. The seabed topography is also characterised by a relative homogeneity with a gradual extension of the continental shelf covering a surface area of about 65,000 km2. The population of Libya was estimated in 2013 at 6 million with a growth rate of 4.85% per annum. Most of Libya’s population is concentrated along the Mediterranean coast and around the country’s, oilfields, with a density population in the Tripoli and Benghazi areas estimated between 11 and 500 inhabitants per km². In 2013 it was estimated that agriculture accounted for 2% of GDP, industry accounted for 58.3%, and services accounted for 39.7%. Oil exports account for over 95% of Libya’s hard currency earnings. Since the discovery of oil in the 1950’s, this economic activity has rapidly expanded while the relative importance of agriculture has declined The hydrological conditions of the coastal region are dominated by three water mass layers. The surface layer, with low salinity is relatively poor in nutrient. It comes from the Atlantic, 1 crosses Gibraltar and moves eastwards. The intermediate layer with a maximum salinity of 38.75%o and a high nutrient level. It moves westward out of the Levantine Sea. The deep layer extends from below the intermediate layer (at a depth of >1000 m) to the bottom.
